Vegetable Stew - Estofado de Verduras

Preparation:

Drain the mixed vegetables. In a deep frying pan, heat the oil and add the very finely-chopped onion. When it has turned golden brown, add the diced ham and the flour. Fry lightly then add the vegetables together with a little water in which the stock cube has first been dissolved. Season with salt and sweet pimentón and leave to cook gently. Serve decorated with the hard-boiled eggs in slices or quarters.
